 this duty upon ths clerk in ali cases of
 dOE1es,ic wills, but in case of suthenti- cated foreign wills the court provides
 that the couF. or judge must appoint
 tbe time for hearing. The section of the code touching domestic wills slso im-
 Drsed this duty on the court or !ndge cOvB 70 1881. when it Was changed SO rs Co Gsv7 ve the duty upon the clerk.
